Andrew Rayel

Born in Călărași, Moldova, under the name Andrei Rață, Andrew Rayel has established himself from the early 2010s in the European trance scene with a melodic, energetic style, often tinged with progressive and big room accents. Active since 2009, Andrew Rayel quickly rose thanks to his early tracks such as 'Aether' in 2011, propelled through Armin van Buuren’s and Armada Music’s ecosystem, before regularly joining A State of Trance events. His work blends orchestral crescendos, expansive synth lines, festival rhythms, and vocal tracks, in a repertoire that navigates between uplifting trance, progressive trance and melodic EDM. Andrew Rayel subsequently developed this format on the albums Find Your Harmony (2014), Moments (2017) and Lifeline (2023), while multiplying collaborations with singers and producers from trance and electronic music. Present on stages such as Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival or A State of Trance nights, Andrew Rayel also launched his own label, inHarmony Music, in 2017, a direct continuation of his universe and of his Find Your Harmony show. Over the years, Rayel has maintained a sound focused on melodic impact, with productions designed for both clubs and large stages.
